Obs. In choosing amongst the many names which has

with.

Obs. Although the characters of Allium nutans^ senes- 
cens, and Anderso7iii, as far as I have been able to discover, 
are slight, nevertheless they are widely different in habit. 
Allium nutans is nearly triple the size of Allium senescens, 
and Allium Andersonii is a very narrow-leaved plant. 
The alternate stamens of the above three are winged at the 
base, and are furnished, for the most part, with one, some- 
times two, short blunt teeth. Allium glaucum and spuiium 
have their alternate stamens broader, but never winged or 
toothed : the first may easily be recognized by its very 
glaucous appearance, and the leaves being more spiral ; the 
second by its green leaves, and somewhat acute laciniae of 
the perianth.
